In this age of rapid movements when now cities are laid out and built in a brief period of time, we are apt to forget the lesson of patient industry taught in tho old proverb that "Rome was not built In a day." The building of a city is usually the work of years, of decadea, of generations, sometimes of centuries. Great operations in the Industrial world are usually the result of careful study and mature deliberation ; the establishment of important industries de mands ample time to satisfy the habitual caution of capital ; and few men change a business location or a place of residence endeared to them by years of tender home associations without taking into aecount the cost in money, as well as in disrupting pleasant and sacred relations. Wheu wo bear ail this in mind, and recall tho fac...
